The re-arraignment of convicted kidnapper, Chukwudueme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans has been postponed due to the absence of the defence Counsel.

Evans, alongside co-defendant, Joseph Emeka, were scheduled for trial at the Lagos High Court on Thursday on a five-count amended charge ranging from conspiracy, murder and kidnapping.
